Size advice for chewing items
Which chew toy is suitable for my dog?
The right size of a chew toy is crucial for safe and long-lasting chewing enjoyment. A chew toy that is too small can be swallowed too quickly, while one that is too large can be unwieldy for small dogs.
Our size guide will help you quickly find the right chew toy for your four-legged friend.

You should keep this in mind
Weight isn't the only factor. Also pay attention to:
🐾 Chewing behavior
Does your dog chew particularly vigorously or rather cautiously? Strong chewers often benefit from a larger size.
🐾 Old
Puppies and senior dogs often prefer softer or smaller chew toys.
🐾 jaw size
Large dog breeds usually need larger chew toys so that they can be held securely.
Why is the right size important?
A suitable chew toy ensures:
- longer chewing pleasure
- better dental care
- less risk of swallowing
- meaningful activity
- natural occupancy
Especially for those with strong chewers, it is recommended to choose a size larger.

S

Safety first
Never leave your dog unattended while chewing.
As soon as a chew toy becomes so small that it could be swallowed, you should replace it.
Always provide your dog with plenty of fresh water.
